Declaration
The time has come for the Body of the Blood to declare Their Presence
to the world of the human.
The struggle of the centuries has come to the Time of the Final Harvest.
10
The use of the internet as a whole for cultivating interest with potential
members has been demonstrated as viable. Select members have been
granted permission to offer limited information regarding the Temple
on their personal websites and efforts are being made by some
members to offer these in foreign languages, the first being Spanish.
To properly attract potential members while screening out those who
are not truly of the Blood has required a greater attention to the image
the Temple projects. This resulted in a complete overhaul and
restructuring of the Temple website into layers of access. The public
can only access a very limited amount of information and the option for
purchasing The Vampire Bible in either paperback or hardcover. At
each level of commitment and Grade there is a layer of access at the
Temple website now.
Summary
This end of the year annual report finds the Temple not greatly
expanded in terms of numbers of members but the quality of the
membership has been better insured as well as modest growth.
This Temple was proposed as a public experiment to approach the
conscious minds of those with the potential rather than the usual
ancient methods still in practice. The arguments made against this
experiment in 1988 suggesting that a mass media advertising approach
would fail have found some merit. The surprising development of the
internet as a new kind of media has interestingly created evidence that
this approach will be successful.
Everything continues to depend upon the proper assistance of the
membership. A mass media-driven Temple will not succeed. A
member-driven Temple will.

A Warning?
Those of you who accessed that page and saw the words, Forums are
closed. may understand what I mean.
It was, I believe, a warning.
Only last month I entered here the Annual Report to Council regarding
the efforts of the Temple to meet the requirements Council demanded
last year.
In May 2003 Council set a requirement for an improvement in the
Temple Mission to renew the Temples public charter to exist.
The second part of our Mission, the conscious guidance for actualizing
Vampiric Potential through the Temple Teachings has been secure ever
since the publication of The Vampire Bible in 1989.
Even without reference to the other four Higher Teachings, The
Vampire Bible by itself offers the bare essentials which any candidate
can apply and, with diligence and discipline, attain the Goal.
The first part of the Temple Mission, the locating of those with
Potential, has, however, been weak.
To be blunt, most of the membership of the Temple has not done much
to reach out to others.
My report last month was, I felt, an appeal for more time to
demonstrate that the membership of the Temple can and will be more
supportive.
I feel the five-day black out of the message board was neither an
accident due to human failure nor a coincidence due to mechanical
error.
I think it was a clear message and a warning of what will happen.
I felt the warning was most clear:
Produce results or no more Temple.

Strong emotions, intense sensory elements and lucidity all enable and
promote dream recall.
Now how does one assume control of and awaken in a new body?
25
The autonomous Vampire, however, has built a Will. The Vampire has
strong connections between the memories he calls his own. The
Vampire loves life and has no hesitations about wishing to live and
love forever.
When you are experienced at all by the open human being, what they
feel is a strong and vivid remembrance at first. Of course, if they feel
this is only a dream the dream memory will not come forth by
day quickly. It will grow quietly in the background, in the
unconscious. However, if the person identifies with the experience it
becomes a memory.
It is a good and useful thing that so many are seeking to awaken the
memories of past lives and to channel higher entities.

Rumor Clearinghouse
Here are some rumors that have been emailed into the Temple along
with answers addressing them:
Our paperback books are $20 including shipping in the US and only
$25 worldwide. Our beautiful embossed hardcover books are $35
including shipping in the US and $45 by airmail worldwide. These
prices are in line with those of any bookstore for a quality, published
book. Application for Temple Grade (of which there are only five
total) is currently $35 for the evaluation fee.
Charging money was determined to be a reliable way to screen out the
casually curious and the socially incompetent. Additionally it is a
simple fact that most things which are offered free of charge are not
valued nor examined carefully by most people.
If the Temple were designed to be just another money-making scheme
then it would be simple enough to pattern the demands for money after
popular churches that demand a tithe, ask for bequests and charge a
bare minimum of $100 per personal service or more.
Instead the Temple actually suggests useful ways for members to
acquire wealth, longevity, survival and personal success!
Money is a tool. For the Temple it serves to filter out those not serious
enough to apply themselves to the Temple Teachings.
The advantage to members lies in the knowledge that those who enter
the Temple Gates are also serious.
30
Does the TOV teach that Vampires are infected with the "K-17"
virus?
No. Vampirism is not an "infection" nor a "disease" nor a "curse".
Real Nightside Vampirism is a practice that requires an instinctual
Potential that is in-born as well as an understanding with regard to how
to do it. It also requires the completion of a non-physical Energy
Circuit with Advanced Vampires Whom We refer to as the Undead
Gods.
It is not a physical practice at all and therefore has nothing to do with
viruses, disease, blood or anything else that is physical.
I do not know where this particular rumor arose but it sounds like a bad
B-plot Hollywood horror movie. Perhaps fun to watch but silly to
believe!
31
32
To enter the Temple is to embrace life and reality. We love life and
have no intention of glorifying nor promoting death. We seek and
achieve physical immortality.
To the question, "Do you want to live forever?" the real Vampire says
"Yes."
We are physical immortalists.
The Temple has given television interviews.
Never. Television remains a circus and the lowest common
denominator of the modern culture.
Any person you see on television who mentions the Temple is not from
the Temple.
That is a certainty!
The Temple has a hidden racist/right wing agenda.
No. The Temple enjoys members at all levels drawn from every racial
group in the world.
We are not racists. We are, if anything, "species-ists!
We hold Ourselves to be above the human stock from which the
Temple membership rises.
The so-called "right wing agenda" is more difficult to address since it
is, in itself, poorly defined. For this reason I will attempt to clarify the
simple fact that the Temple endorses democratic representational
government and rule by law for human beings.
The Temple also upholds the values of legal restriction of government
from infringing upon basic human rights such as those enumerated in
the US Constitutions "Bill of Rights" amendments.
Temple Law forbids Temple members from belonging to organizations
that oppose these simple principles of law and order such as violent
neo-Nazi organizations.
34
This rumor was obviously started by those who are opposed to the
Temple. It is simply not true.
Is the Temple a branch of the Church of Satan?
The specific rumor received was:
ToV is a branch of CoS, in order for the latter to attract potential
members with a gothic image.
I have lately seen a wide number of variations on this rumor that is
completely false.
First, the Temple is legally a separate organization from any other.
Second, while the Dayside portion of the Temple is very similar to the
philosophy of the Church of Satan, the Nightside portion and Twilight
portions could easily be rejected by some members of the Church of
Satan.
The Temple has very few supporters outside Itself. One of these is the
Church of Satan. They kindly provide a link to the Temple and the
Temple reciprocates.
The "gothic image" portion of the specific rumor addressed here is truly
laughable. As the Temple discourages Halloween dress up and blood
drinking, this is a large "turn off" to the Gothic community in general.
The Temple is not a subset of any other organization although we have
members who belong to many, many other organizations and groups.
The Temple is Itself and none other.
The Temple exists to serve the Temple Mission and none other.
Those who would claim otherwise are either mistaken or lying.
35
If the group claims to speak for the Temple, the Temple requires that
you to not be a part of it.
If the group claims to be Vampire or speaks against the Temple, the
Temple requires you to not be a part of it.
These things are clearly explained on the Temple website. There is no
need for a long and unending list of names or groups.
We expect you to simply understand these four restrictions and stay
clear of such people. It is just that simple.
Does the Temple teach that you must die to join the Undead?
No. Quite the contrary. The human religions are those that teach that
one must die to "go to heaven" and join with "God". We don't.
The Temple has always Taught that the Undead are Themselves
embodied as explained in The Vampire Creed quite clearly.
The trick to understanding what the Temple is actually Teaching is to
read what is in plain public view. Don't rely on what others say.
Read what We say.
Is Temple selling 5-page pamphlets on astral travel?
Hardly.
The Temple offers in paperback and hardcover with some 50 pages
The Vampire Bible as well as four other Teaching texts, a journal
covering the first 13 of our 17 years of journal articles which, if added
together would amount to over 375 pages of tightly packed words and
diagrams.
This "5 page" rumor has been circulating for some time and either
came from someone with an agenda or someone with a problem
counting.
The issues dealt with in the Temple literature include so-called "astral
travel" but also span the entire field of required information for
achieving the personal goals of the Temple. Everything from
37

There will come to us those who lack the Potential or lack the
perseverance to get authentic results.
There will be those who will reinterpret their failures as success to
boost up a false sense of self-importance.
There will be those who resent the elitist claims of the Temple and
come here with no other purpose than to attempt to destroy what they
consider falsehoods.
There will be those who make the mistake I alluded to above and
meeting members in person will substitute judging what is visible for
what is invisible, for judging others instead of judging their own
experiences.
From time to time some of the members who have these hidden
agendas will gather together in groups and then finally usually in a
great flurry of noise and excitement declare themselves to be
independent or superior to the Temple to then form new groups.
Sometimes such efforts must include attacks of one kind or another to
try to denigrate the Temple to help justify their rebellion.
Efforts like this are inevitable because human nature remains as it is.
However all such efforts are juvenile, misguided and doomed to failure.
Why?
The answer is simple.
Everything unique about the Temple requires that you prove it to
yourself.
Everything.
It does not matter what is visible.
It does not matter about Our history, personalities, origins, or anything
else of that nature.
All that matters is what is invisible.
42
If you are being seduced by the visible and are considering the clever
words of those who would have you leave this Temple, I urge you to
think carefully.
Anyone who would suggest these things with any Grade above Initiate
cannot be trusted!
By their own testimony they have proven that either they are outright
liars about their own experiences or they still have failed to achieve
what they have claimed.
They are asking you to trust them and they have already proven that
they cannot be trusted!
Either their character is flawed or their judgment or both.
The Temple, on the other hand, asks you to trust no one except
yourself.
The Temple hands out instructions on experiments to perform to prove
to yourself what is true.
Anything you are told by those who would denigrate the Temple and
attempt to undercut its Authority relies upon you believing in only what
is visible.
The Temple asks you instead, to verify what is invisible.
The invisible is the hidden or the occult.
The Temple is the one public organization that offers both the means
and structure to permit the direct and personal experience of the Occult,
in its truest essence.
Everything else is mere words, pictures, sounds, sensations - all of
which are visible.
As Internet Administrator to the Temple I receive emails daily and
commonly I read pleas from those who betrayed their own nature and
left the Temple to join pale shadows of the reality the Temple offers.
When I do reply I only suggest that they seek happiness in other
interests.

Your Survival
Active membership to the Temple is intended to offer the members the
tools for the mastery of life. The Temple desires to see the members
strong, self sufficient and invincible. In other words, the Temple is
entirely about survival.
Survival has several levels or arenas of activity.
First, of course, is physical health. Beyond the absolute necessities of
food, shelter and clothing the various components involved in
achieving and maintaining optimal health are only now becoming
scientifically discovered.
One resource that appears to have more immediate usefulness even at
this somewhat primitive stage of scientific development is The Edge
Effect by Eric R. Braverman, M.D. (ISBN 1-4027-1205-7).
Braverman was a former Chief Clinical Researcher at the Princeton
Brain Bio Center and now heads up his own private non-profit research
group, the PATH Foundation.
This approach is dedicated to the supposition that four major
neurotransmitters in the brain need to be properly balanced for health to
be present. This particular book offers a fairly simple written
examination to determine your own mix and then offers direct
suggestions for achieving a proper balance.
The result of a proper balance for the individual is to restore the
cascade of lower biochemical and electrical events in the body, such
as hormone production, blood sugar levels, overall metabolism, etc.,
such that diseases are attenuated and mental and emotional functions
are optimized.
While not light reading, the suggested book is written for the general
public and recommended by the Temple.
Increasingly health is also dependent upon access to medical services,
and these, in turn, are dependent upon having access to enough money
to afford them. Almost daily, new research is curing disease after
disease but treatment is not always readily available to the general
public unless one can afford to obtain it privately.
47
These issues are the base of the Temple pyramid for personal
survival. Not surprisingly they tend to be ignored by the human herd.
The psychological reasons behind this rather suicidal tendency are not
within the scope of this article but clearly can be traced back to an
attitude of denigrating life when one expects to sooner or later die.
However there is one additional issue that needs to be addressed here as
well with regard to survival.
The mortalist perspective denies that physical immortality is either
desirable or attainable.
Two important resources counter this
assumption and they are Engines of Creation by Eric Drexler and The
Prospect of Immortality by Robert Ettinger. Both of these books are
available online free and are found in most libraries. The member is
advised to read both to undercut all of the deathist arguments and to
cement an understanding of why immortality is not only desirable and
attainable but will become inevitable.
The concern here is that there are too many members who come to the
Temple and assume that the Nightside will save them from death.
They take the Christian doctrine of salvation and unwittingly paste it
across the serious suggestions of the Temple. This is an error.
Let me be extremely clear to all reading this. If you are relying upon
astral immortality which requires skills you have not yet fully mastered
or can demonstrate (to rule out self deception) then you are still basing
your efforts toward survival on faith and not fact.
The Temple is based entirely on demonstrable and self-verifiable fact
and not on faith. You should assume that unless you have mastered
the astral skills of the Temple Teachings that if you die you will simply
be dead. The Vampire Creed is explicit on this issue.
Therefore any member who is ignoring the physical steps briefly
alluded to in this article for survival is not behaving or thinking as
Vampire but is following the road to destruction common to the mortal
human.
Survival requires effort and planning. It is not assured but it is worth
the trouble.
Stay Strong!

The answer was simple. They simply never were a real member of the
Priesthood and or a real Vampire.
You are what you are
These words have been around for as long as I can remember and yet it
is so easy to forget what they mean.
Those who are Vampire will not throw away the chance to realize their
Potential.
The prize is immortality. The Vampire will not exchange the chance for
immortality for anything of lesser value.
The Vampire will have no problem following the minor restrictions on
their behavior required by Temple Law: avoidance of crime and blood
drinkers choosing to remain worthy by being reasonable.
However neither is it the fault of the human beings who come to the
Temple and lie to themselves or others about their accomplishments in
order to gain Grade!
They actually cant help themselves. It is simply their nature.
You are what you are.
When a member submits a written testimony to apply for the Third
Circle that member has stated that he or she now is satisfied that the
Undead Gods are real.
The human beings who lie about this should not be faulted for lying
about it. They cannot help themselves. They are not driven by the
desire for immortality but are driven, instead, by the need to have
others look up to them, to acquire Titles and awards that they can
substitute for authentic accomplishment.
Why?
Because the nature of human beings is embedded with their knowledge
that they are mortal, they will soon die and therefore everything in their
lives will become meaningless, sooner or later anyway.
52
Thus they are easily tempted to lie about who they are and what they
can do because life is short and if they do not grab what they can,
while they can, they will never have anything anyway.
Seldom if ever do human beings realize that these ideas are what
motivate their every action, but from the Vampiric perspective it is
clearly obvious.
53
Symbols
The Rose (anagram: eros) Crux of five petals defines the pentagram.
Inscribe the pentagram to produce the pentagon.
Now look at the Great Pyramid (which is having a large wall being
erected around it even as we discuss this) and from above we see an
"X" circumscribed by a square. This is your great Red Cross on the
white desert plateau. Allow this "X" to remain on the base of the
pyramid, as if it were resting upon the white ground, and move your
perspective below the surface. As above, so below.
Go to that deep place where one can see the frame of the four edges of
the pyramid and the "X" and the square all form a pentagon with an
inverted pentagram star. From that perspective rests something
important.
And as if looking through a target, the center of that inscribed pentagon
points to a specific place in the heavens. With alignment all will be
ready.
Ouroboros encircles and two twin dragons face left and right, as even
one ancient face gazes East while the other.... The reproductive organs
of the male and female in coitus below (Fleur De Lis) and above, ah
yes, the Crown, the Nimbus, the Halo, the Gate.
And what do these symbols remind one of?
The Circle surrounding the Face that gazes down (even as we might
gaze up), the outer facing serpents (winged Horus), the two made one
and the eye cavities and nasal cavities, even the cheek bones (another
five forming yet another pentagram) all aligning to a centered position
on that Great Circle?
All is laid bare like words arranged in sentences lend meaning to the
words and point to something beyond mere words.
What is the "order" of the Dragon? Is there a clear order? Is there order
from Chaos?
Yes there is.
Everywhere we look.

Behind My Eyes
Blinking out of existence.
My "eyelids blinking" are those dark moments that shut off the visible
world.
These are also my regular reminders of where I Am and THAT I Am.
There are no eyes, no face, no enclosed head in which I am caged.
Instead there is only a Transparent and Invisible Void that is filled with
the entire world around me.
And, when I look "down", my body rises above me.
If I close "my eyes" which I cannot see, the world ends more certainly
than in the most dramatic Biblical doomsday.
Yet I am there, behind that curtain as surely as the little man behind the
curtain in the film "The Wizard of Oz".
The world of outer experience, this dream, is dependent upon me.
When I look, I create it.
When I move, I move all of it.
I am always there.
Immobile. Infinite. Flawless. Invisible.
I shall always be.
61

64
When members apply for First Circle the Temple now also asks them
to state what actions they have taken to better control their Dayside.
You do not have to already be wealthy, with 24/7 bodyguards, a paidup retirement plan and a PhD in human psychology to be a "successful"
Dayside Vampire!
But neither do you want to be or remain in a position where you are
completely dependent upon others and "luck" in order to know that you
can survive.
Context is absolutely everything. The Temple encourages taking
actions (and this includes making realistic plans) to become more
powerful and independent.
Success is not a state to be accomplished but a series of actions we all
need to be taking regularly for our personal benefit. It is not a matter of
pretending that "everything is okay right now" and feigning happiness.
It is a matter of enjoying this moment and making real plans for the
future as well to enable that enjoyment to continue.
It is ultimately all a matter of self-honesty.
That is a primary theme of the Temple: self-honesty.
66
Just Do It
Nemo
Every so often I receive a communication from a member who is trying
to build his pyramid from the top down ... and then complains that
bricks keep falling on his head!
The Dayside is the foundation upon which any Nightside or Twilight
efforts are built.
The Vampire is a master of the earth ... not just another human who
lives in denial and makes rationalizations such as "poverty is a virtue"
or "death is natural and good".
If you are not satisfied with your degree of financial freedom, study the
Dayside Money Forum and then ... get to work!
If you are not satisfied with your current odds for returning from an
undesired death (remember cars do not care about "normal lifespans!)
go the Dayside Immortality Forum and then ... get to work!
To paraphrase Ben Franklin, "Gods help those who help themselves".
The Nightside is almost completely about your unconscious openness
to seeing success in reality control. You cannot fool your own mind.
If you are waiting for someone to rescue you then you are telling your
unconscious mind to just wait. If you demonstrate to yourself that you
truly want mastery of the earth by doing everything possible to achieve
it, then your unconscious mind will also get the message and the
Nightside can then become very, very real. Proper balance between the
Dayside and the Nightside opens the Twilight.
The Temple is for active members - not mere dreamers, procrastinators
and those who choose fantasy over fact.
Want to change your world for the better?
Just do it.

On Religious Discrimination
Because the Temple is intended to be a secret society and not a public
evangelical movement, the entire issue of seeking "justice" from
mortals with regard to religious rights turns out to be
counterproductive.
This is one of the reasons it is extremely wise to be quite careful about
not revealing one's membership if at all possible - unless you truly feel
willing to deal also with the possible repercussions from human beings.
We have the attitude of not having to "beg" for "protection" from
bigots.
We wish to operate as Masters not peasants.
I fully recognize that sometimes others will learn about one's
membership quite by accident.
However we are not here to demand our "rights" but to keep a low
profile and attain our aims.
Realistically, we are all adults here.
It is expected that members recognize that the Temple is not seeking
"public approval" nor "acceptance" for our religion.
That intent is pointless, quite frankly.
There are benefits and drawbacks to everything.
Membership is the Temple is not different.
70
71
Financial Freedom
People commonly think that financial freedom is beyond them.
Yet consider how many people are sitting on $500,000 in equity in a
house that they bought previously?
If they sold that house and took their money out they could live for ten
years at a $50,000 annual level ... and then be broke.
Or they could invest that money and, on average generate, after taxes,
about $127,500 annually to live on ... without touching their $500,000
seed capital.
Cut that down to a starting capital of $50,000 from the sale of a house.
You could generate close to $13,000 after taxes per year.
Go live in Quito, Ecuador and check the costs there. Or even Mexico.
Or some former Soviet block European countries.
One out-of-print book that emphasized this concept was Cashing In
On The American Dream. The accountant who wrote that book
liquidated his real estate, cars, everything. When he was done he had
about $500,000 in 1979 dollars.
He put all that money into bank CDs that would roll over, spread
through the year, hired an accountant to watch his accounts for him,
and lived in Third World countries about 10 months out of the year and
in First World countries 2 months out of the year.
You might hate living like a native in Guatemala (crime is up through
the roof there now - almost as bad as New York City!) but that is not
my point.
My point is that if you believe there are no possible answers for you to
find freedom, you won't even try to look for those answers.
Another example. What if you bought a used pickup truck with a
camper insert? Bed, kitchen, propane - the usual camping basics.
You now have a portable home. You own it. If you need to you can go
just about anywhere, even into rough country where larger RVs can't.

Magic Answers
Each of the Nine Laws builds to a more comprehensive (global)
encompassing of the ones below it. The Ninth encompasses all.
The First Three Laws are the Laws of Agreement, the next Triad those
of Control, and the final Triad those of Awareness.
Thus, in turn, Awareness contains Control and Control contains
Agreement.
For example, how Awareness contains Control is demonstrated when in
a lucid dream in which you are truly "lucid" (Awareness) you have
Control over the dream elements.
Another example, Control contains Agreement. If you have extended
your Will over another, you can then cause them to perceive things they
otherwise could not as in inducing a hypnotic positive hallucination.
I will give here another example. Timothy Freke has been quite busy in
recent years attempting to simplify aspects of traditional Gnostic
metaphysics and just wrote a little book entitled Lucid Living. All
reads most well until you get toward the end.
Control never comes up and he skips over it to go straight to
Awareness. The result? You do not end up conscious if you stay there
long enough. Read my essay on Buddhism for the same understanding
of this dead end more rapidly achieved by the Colt .45 method when
applied to the forehead.
Agreement can often give you much of what you want in the human
realm. The Dayside methods of manipulation are encompassed by the
Triad Laws of Agreement.
However, Control is what is desired. Awareness can potentially yield
Control but can also result in the Dark Night of the Soul.
Agreement is the First Circle of Initiation. You open the door to
validate the Teachings through Agreement.
Control enters immediately with the Second Circle in which Lifeforce
Vampirism moves Nightside elements into your Dayside.

Instead, the mature Satanist or Vampire simply doubts that such a selfcontradictory entity could exist and certainly does not assume that the
dictates of such an entity (or his mindless followers) would make sense
to obey.
So practically speaking, both Satanists and Vampires view the universe
as atheists but are, technically speaking, agnostics. We simply do not
believe in supreme deities, like Jehovah, and for many good reasons,
most of which are carefully reviewed in The Vampire Priesthood
Bible.
Interestingly enough, much of the Temple's Teachings were anticipated
by the famed sci-fi writer, Arthur C. Clarke in his Three Laws:
Clarke's First Law:
"When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is
possible he is almost certainly right. When he states that something
is impossible, he is very probably wrong."
Clarke's Second Law:
"The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture
a little way past them into the impossible."
Clarke's Third Law:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from
magic."
Those Satanists or Vampires who are quick to tell you what cannot be
possible are guilty of breaking the First Law. Examples abound that
today's science is tomorrow's belly laugh.
Clarke's Second Law encapsulates the entire approach of the Temple to
"Test Everything".
Clarke's Third Law deals with the Nightside and the Twilight of the
Temple.
The assumption that there cannot be Undead Gods is an example of
going against all three of these "Laws".
Frankly, in only a few years straight-line projections of what molecular
nanotechnology will make available will create Undead Gods even if

If you make it through to then, you will see that everything the Temple
has predicted and claimed will be absolutely correct and a part of
everyday life.
This is a claim that requires that you not let yourself get killed in the
meantime however.
Now just guess why the Dayside forums for Temple Secrets regarding
money, survival, immortality, health and social skills exist?
They exist to enable those few here to make it through until then.
The Nightside and Twilight exist. I know this to be true.
However they do not need to be true for everything - everything claimed in the Temple to be true.
Perhaps I shall write a book strictly on this topic since there is hardly a
day that passes that someone doesnt ask about Satanism and
Vampirism.
Attempting to compress the wealth of the Temple into a few words here
does not begin to explain it.
What you do from this point forward however will determine your
future.
Be careful.
The life you save is your own.
Mine is already backed up.

In Summary:
One can enter or leave active (subscribing) membership at any time but
to retain Grade and Title the member must remain an active
(subscribing) member.
Title and Grade are only sustained by active (subscribing) members in
good standing.
To drop active (subscribing) membership is to lose all Grade and Title.
Therefore there exist no Graded members outside the Active
Membership of this Temple.
There are no Temple Adepts, Sorcerers, Sorceresses, Priests,
Priestesses, Predators nor Temple Initiates outside the active
(subscribing) membership of this Temple.
(Validation is available by email).
The Temple requires dedication, loyalty and commitment.
Nothing less will do.
Thank you for your attention.

Or maybe a study of the "old ways" might help enlighten you to the
obvious advantages presented to you here.
The hilarious part of all this, is that to any true Vampire, Temple Law
is not really "law" at all.
Temple Law is simply reasonable behavior that should be expected of
any true Immortal.
No one takes pleasure in enforcing Temple Law.
Nor, is this an issue of restricting your liberties.
This is an issue of securing true liberty and what steps must be taken to
accomplish it.
One Life. One Chance. The choice is yours.

Nightside Immortality
Suppose that there might exist on this world some people who have
stumbled across some method for surviving death but have remained
quite secretive about this for their own protection from the milling,
neurotic masses.
Suppose that this small elite of near-immortals could assist a limited
number of other people to use this same method to survive as well.
Who would they choose?
Would they be more likely to choose people who loudly pronounce that
death is "natural" and "good"?
Would they be more likely to choose people who hoped to be "saved"
by some ghost in the sky (God, Jesus, etc.) from dying dead?
Or would they choose people who were doing everything they could to
beat death right now?
Wouldn't they choose to help those who valued life so much that they
would be willing to take action?
Just think on this a bit. If you could teach someone a special trick to
escape death but if would require persistence and dedication to learn
that trick, just what kind of people would you consider for this gift?
Wouldn't you be inclined to work with those who already made it clear
by their actions that they wanted to survive death?
Wouldn't you choose those who "walked their talk" over those who
only said they wanted immortality?
Doesn't it make more sense to try and teach those who want to learn
and show that they are serious?
Just think it through.

Bicameral Consciousness
Julian Jaynes wrote about the hypothesis that the current human state of
individuated consciousness is very recent, having become the norm
only in the last two thousand years.
This is the essential element of his hypothesis that I am addressing.
The human cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres and connected by
the corpus callosum.
This is the fundamental biological substrate for the functioning of the
human mind.
The bicameral mind reflects this condition more so than the ephemeral
"conscious" condition that requires a great deal of energy and the use of
language to acquire and maintain. Two year old children are usually
still functionally bicameral, for example.
The creation amid maintenance of a sense of conscious "self" is critical
for Us, as it reflects and opens a window for the Dragon to peer
through.
To fall back upon quantum physics, the Dragon is the necessary
"observer" Who enables the collapse of the wave form into "physical"
reality. (In our terminology, the Dragon enables the Ninth Law of
Magic to work).
If you were to develop a slave race, you would design it to enjoy
obedience, much as a dog loves to please its master.
The bicameral state matches this condition quite well.
In innumerable examples of Undead "visitations" to human beings from fairy lore to alien abductions - the use of a "wand" to touch the
forehead instantly induces the bicameral state.
The original wand is reflected in the scepter of the human kings and
rulers and alluded to in the lore of the magic wand.
Modern UFO researchers have come to label the resulting fugue state
as the "Oz factor".

Temple Law
Nemo
There is NO COMPROMISE with regard to Temple Law.
You are here to master the Temple Teachings. That includes behaving
as mature, socially responsible members of society. You will find this
repeated in every copy of printed Temple literature prior to page 1. It is
not there by accident.
Immature macho desires for personal power through violence belong
with children who have not yet learned better.
When you have authentically brought even just your Dayside world
under control and are working for a better future for yourself then all of
these childish substitutions for personal power and success will drop
away.
The child is frustrated and/or angry that he lacks personal control. The
adult who gains this control ceases to feel an angry need to "fight
against" the world or to harm others.
The mature Vampire is content, not angry. The mature Vampire is
cautious, not callous. The mature Vampire is self-controlled, not
emotionally-controlled. Mature or not, everyone here is an adult and
will be required to behave like one in word and deed.
Criminal activity is illegal activity. I will not hesitate to remove
anyone from membership, regardless of age, sex, Grade or experience,
who does not exert SELF-CONTROL with regard to these issues.
Immature, macho intimations posted here or expressed anywhere
with regard to any illegal activity will cost you your membership.
Temple Law is EXACTLY as written. There will be NO exceptions.
Pass the word.

Believe Nothing.
In the Middle Ages the Church was the unquestioned authority for
knowing the truth. People believed what the Church said and the entire
force of social peer pressure supported that.
With the Enlightenment, the scientific establishment challenged that
position of authority and that distrust of the Church that burned Bruno
and imprisoned Galileo has never ceased.
Since at least the beginning of the twentieth century, the scientific
establishment replaced the Church as the undisputed authority for
issues of the world - explaining where things came from (origin myths)
and how they work.
The problem is that, like all human societies, the scientific
establishment is resistant to change and exerts turf dominance behavior
instead of simple reason regarding what will be permitted study.
Exactly like the Church it defeated.
The Vampire seeks to "Test Everything; Believe Nothing". This
includes the current pronouncements of modern science which all
too often is later proven to not be truly scientific at all.
We are practical to the extreme. If it works, the Vampire will use it.
However the proposed explanations whether from religion or the
scientific establishment are never assumed to be "absolute truth".
We know that human beings are still driven to ignore evidence that is
uncomfortable to them based on their psychology (Festinger's theory of
cognitive consonance has proven one of the most useful tools from
psychology for offering predictive guidance of this).
It is important to distinguish between successful applications of
science and the current explanatory models of science from which
they derive ....or are purported to.
The history of the scientific establishment is the history of new
paradigms having to await the physical death of the "old guard" before
acceptance.

Werewolves, etc.
It seems that with all the Hollywood hype about werewolves, the
inevitable has happened. Humans have formed "werewolf" groups and
are buying into the notion that werewolves and vampires are "at war".
Some groups have already declared our Temple their enemy.
At first glance, these groups seem to avoid the claim of practicing
pseudo vampirism and tend to focus mainly on the aspect of shape
shifting.
Therefore, there is always the danger that Temple members may find
themselves drawn to such organizations.
Caution is advised! Please do not be fooled. For your own security,
exercise caution and comply with Temple Law.
If you read Temple literature you will realize that there have been many
names given to what We are. The Werewolf is yet another:
The Nightside Vampire strives to more fully embrace the Vampiric
nature by developing the many powers of the Vampire to include
shapeshifting, flying, mesmeric power, and Communion with the
Undead Gods.
There can hardly be a "war" between Vampires and Werewolves!
Vampires are Werewolves ... and go by many other names besides.
We are It.
This Temple is Our public face.
There is no other.

HEAVEN
The
REINCARNATION
How is reincarnation different from Alzheimers disease?
It isnt.
Think of someone you care for now. If they no longer knew who you
were and had no memory of anything they had ever experienced, how
would you feel about that? Anyone who has experienced this with
victims of Alzheimers disease will tell you that it is as if the person
already died and there remains this idiot behind in the old body.
Reincarnation is spiritual Alzheimers disease.
If it were real then it would no more be a means of survival of you than
if you simply died dead and ceased to exist. The nature of your
personal identity begins to be explored at the First Circle of the Graded
forums and leads to full understanding for those who actually
accomplish the goals required for Fifth Circle. Knowing who and what
you really are is the oldest dictum of true knowledge and the authentic
meaning of the need to Know Thyself! But the mortal throws away
his life on heaven or reincarnation without seriously thinking
through what this means! The Vampire does not. The Vampire is
not a wild gambler with the most precious of possessions his life!
So why is the resistance to physical immortality so common with the
human? Why is it that every human who revealed himself to be a liar

You must make a plan to achieve your goals and stick to it!
To start off with, why do we all directly or indirectly want more
money?
LIFESTYLE & FREEDOM.
To be able to do what we want and when we want.
Having TIME and MONEY = LIFESTYLE & FREEDOM
Train yourself to have the mindset of a millionaire and you will become
one!
Too many times, i have heard people say, I dont know how to save or
its too hard to save because I dont earn enough money, too many
bills..etc etc
Excuses, Excuses, Excuses...Ad Nauseum!
Most people look at savings in reverse.
First up is receive your pay, then pay your bills, pay for this, pay for
that and in the end, there is little left to save.
Next, obtain a little self control and dont SPEND more than you
EARN on items that you will buy on impulse and ones which will only
serve to satisfy your impulses and give you nothing of value in return.
In essence, avoid the cycle of buying or doing something on impulse
and then finding yourself a little short for change.
Ask yourself before you hand over your cash or swipe your card, "Do I
really NEED this?"
Dont let your emotions rule your decision and dont let your mind
make you believe that it is a "sacrifice" if you dont buy this. You
cannot miss what you DONT have, therefore, you are not sacrificing
anything, but controlling your emotional impulse.
Come back to the item in a day or a week from now, and if you really
must have it, then so be it, you will enjoy it lavishly as it was
something that you wanted to "give" to yourself, not something that
you felt you "needed".
Now taking what I have said above brings me to the savings part.
Knowing that you wont miss what you dont have in the first place
you set up a linked bank account and have a certain amount of money
100
deposited each week directly from your paycheck into that other
account and......
Dont touch it!
By simply doing this, you have set up an action plan on saving your
money without feeling like you are sacrificing anything or throwing
tremors into your current lifestyle.
Put aside as much or as little as you are comfortable with, and forget
about it.
To illustrate this simple exercise over a one year span:
$50 pw x 52 weeks = $2600
$75 pw x 52 weeks = $3900
$100 pw x 52 weeks = $5200
Put this money into an account with CitiBank or ING (for two
examples) and you will earn up to 5% interest on the amount and also
on the compound of further amounts deposited.
As another example, with Citibank, you also earn interest not only on
your savings, but also the same interest on your pay being deposited in
there. So do a little math and it all adds up.
Im not advocating these banks, but just using them as a prime
example, as they are two banks that I know of that actually do give
something in return and dont charge you ridiculous banks fees, etc.
Just by learning to control your impulses and setting up this simple
little action plan and seeing the results of the action taken, which in
reality does not impose on your current lifestyle, will achieve, what I
believe to be the essential important ingredient needed for financial
success ...and that is CONFIDENCE!
With this confidence and extra bank balance, you will set a rock solid
foundation and let go of your fear of money, destroy bad money habits,
and master your emotions and impulses.
You will have some great "tools" in your hands and will be able to
approach all further investments and every area in your life with a
sense of clarity, control, focus, purpose and above all CONFIDENCE!
This is something that I have taught myself and even though my
underlying message is so simple, through my observations of people, I
always see it as the most neglected.
101
In my eyes, if you cannot master yourself then you cannot master the
tools you need to make them work for you, they will always work
against you.
I hope that my post can be helpful to someone.

Oscar Wilde:
"I Can Resist Anything Except Temptation"
Linguascelesta
It occurred to me today that a lot of that written about the Vampiric
Will in The Vampire Predator Bible is in fact more in keeping with
this phrase than it might initially seem.
A lazy person may sit slumped on a sofa watching the TV, and not
achieve anything. In their own eyes, they failed to resist temptation,
because they gave in to the temptation of remaining there watching TV.
I say no! What they did was not really giving in to temptation. What
they really did, was resist the temptation to do something better, out of
laziness.
Having "Self-Motivation Power" is often seen as a battle between one's
will and one's temptations.
The way I see it, it's actually a matter of pursuing one's greatest desires.
Being tempted by the things one wants the most, and doing something
to get them. It's nothing more than chosing which of two (or more)
desires is the greatest, and giving in to the greatest temptation.
Would I enjoy lazing about per se? Yes. So, I'm tempted to laze about.
Would I enjoy being assured of Immortality? Hell Yes! I'm definitely
tempted to do something to achieve this.
Consequence, I do something worthwhile rather than something nearworthless.
Two temptations, running parallel. Do I use some harsh iron-will
technique to force Myself into action? No! All I do is give in to
temptation. I give in to whichever temptation is strongest. As a general
rule of thumb, this is often not a difficult choice.
Like Oscar Wilde, I can resist anything except temptation.
(His life was a comedy, a history, and a tragedy, in My opinion. I
intend for Mine to be a history - and I'll settle for it also being a
comedy, for sure. I enjoy a good laugh.

Noblesse Oblige
Noctifer
The translation of the above is the Obligations of Nobility.
In my own mind, the concept of Nobility is quite similar to and
intertwined with the concept of Elite.
In the United State of America, we do not necessarily have a realistic
picture of nobility, royalty, or aristocracy. There are several reasons for
this. Politics, propaganda and fairy tales have created a warped concept
of nobility. Much of our ideas regarding nobility are incorrect and
incomplete. Such a picture is neither realistic nor useful. In discussing
the concept of nobility, I would like to move away from the politics and
storytelling and move into the realm of history and theory.
The thirteen original colonies that founded this country were under
English rule which gives us fairly substantial European roots. Many
individuals left Europe to get away from the system that was in place
there. The US of A is country founded upon a revolution whose goal
was to break from the parent kingdom of England. The propaganda of
over two hundred years ago encouraging that separation still affects us.
Often the histories that we have been given us are neither true nor
complete. We have media, especially movies presenting fairy tale
versions of European nobility, and this as well affects our perceptions.
I would like to give some general background history on the origins of
nobility to dispel the illusions.
The Ancient world had its own methods of determining status or
class, and definitions could vary depending on what part of the world
is being discussed. Our current notions of nobility come from the
structure and social positions within the feudal system that resulted
from the breakdown of the Roman Empire.
Most of you are familiar with the concept of the Roman Empire
growing too large to maintain control of territories too vast to maintain.
Rome was a city-state. As the European situation destabilized with the
movement of various tribes, Rome pulled back its soldiers, politicians,
and administrators more and more to the home city. This left a vacuum
of order that affected the entirety of Europe. People had looked to the
106
Roman government for stability, structure and safety. They now had to
look to themselves.
In practical terms, what people wanted was a stable environment in
which to live their lives.
In Temple terms, what people wanted was Survival.
So they gathered in clusters for safety. Cities were walled for
protection. People were willing to put up with cramped spaces and
unhealthy living conditions to achieve some measure of safety. Abbeys
and monasteries were centers of learning. Some of these religious
centers were fortified. Most people were close to the third unit of
medieval life, the fortress. This is what we know as the castle.
Rome had divided its territories into administrative districts, and the
largest administrative and territorial unit was the province. To make
government easier, smaller administrative units were developed, named
after the emperor Diocletian. These units were called a diocese. Smaller
than that were counties. The rulers/governors of these areas were
appointed based upon experience and prestige.
As Europe made its transition from Roman rule to the feudal system,
the provinces became kingdoms. The diocese remained as
administrative areas of the religious system. Provinces as a word and
administrative district were used, but for smaller areas within the
kingdom. Men of ability and experience took the positions of lord,
which in those days was specifically a military chief. Over time, these
positions became hereditary, and that was how the system of European
aristocracy was set.
Medieval life was based upon exchange. Most people traded their time,
services and goods in exchange for the protection and care from the
local lord. This is where nobility in the classic sense evolved in Europe.
It was the lords responsibility to protect his people and provide other
essential services. It was the responsibility of his subjects/vassals to
provide him with service, goods, support and time in exchange for that
protection.
In the medieval world, at least in theory, none of these positions were a
place of dishonor. The philosophy was that each person was placed in
the position where god had intended them best to be. It was
especially true in England, to insult anyone for their position was to
insult God, for each person fit into society like a piece of a puzzle set
107
up by God. The paradigm that I have just described was still in effect in
England during the reign of Elizabeth 1. This paradigm was also the
basis for the concept of the divine right of kings. It is this
social/political/religious structure that pervaded Europe even past the
French Revolution and well into the 1800s.
This concept, that every person has a place, a role, a job is critical to
the true concept of nobility. It is about responsibility, self awareness
and the respect given to each person for what they do and their place in
the world.
When the colonists broke away from England, the new government of
the United States looked back to Europe for inspiration, both in what
they felt worked and what didnt. There were two paradigms examined
for the new constitution.
In England, the king was the first subject under the law.
In France, the king was the root and source of the law.
It was the former paradigm, the example of England,
the kingdom the colonists had just separated from by revolution
that was used as the model for the new constitution and setting up the
new head of state.
Either system allowed aristocrats to feel that their position in society
was an entitlement. The English and French systems still required
responsibility as a matter of honor.
To be sure, this is a very simplistic overview. The way many movies
have been made, one might suspect that all English nobles were
responsible and all French aristocrats were selfish and shallow. As with
any generalization, this is not true. Both kingdoms had heroes and cads.
There were many French noblemen who survived the revolution of the
1790s specifically because their previous benevolence, responsible
behavior and steadfast maintenance of their obligations made them
loved by their people.
I wrote this essay because there seems to be some confusion over the
definition or application of the word Elite when it comes to
membership here.
Elite as a word has its origins in the Latin eligere, which means to
elect. Socially, the elite is a relatively small dominant group within a
larger society which enjoys a privileged status. An elite is often the

That means to reach out and grasp the Hands and Opportunities that are
offered.
This is the true process of election, to accept these Gifts and through
our own work, apply the Teachings to our lives and not sink back into
the mass of mediocrity that one just left behind.
We are given Gifts.
We have Obligations.
There are also goals.
For every single one of us that entails work.
Our efforts in these endeavors are what will truly define nobility.

The Nightside enters with the ability to actually feel this power
exchange. Lifeforce is indeed a substance. It has been fully reified.
(Those of the Inner Temple should recognize this Law.)
By learning to feel the flow of the Blood, the Vampire can immediately
discover who or what is in control and adjust as desired. With some
practice and objective verification, you can immediately discern who in
a group is lying, who you can manipulate, and who is a threat to you.
You can also easily tell when you are being fooled since you will feel
your own Lifeforce bleeding away.
(This, of course, the Initiate must verify.)
Thus, in every exchange and every action you or another performs,
watch the flow of Blood. Always be on the receiving end.
That is Vampirism.

that in order to get to the chamber, you had to walk through a veritable
maze of hallways and the closer you got to the chamber, the darker it
got, until eventually one was in total darkness. Also, since the hallways
would become smaller, it eventually became impossible to use a torch
to light your way. This meant that in order to make it to the center
chamber, one had to literally see in the dark and only one who could
see the light of Amun Ra could do that!
Okay, that last part wasn't in the history channel, but if you will bear
with me, you will see why what I just said are the plain facts of the
matter. In fact, if you study a bit of Egyptian history, you will learn that
a big reason why Egypt fell apart was because a later pharoh attempted
to move the center of worship away from Amun Ra to Akh-en-aton.
Since Egyptologists consider both Ra and Aten to be sun gods, they
wrongly assume that the power shift was Egypt's attempt to abandon
paganism and embrace a primitive form of monotheism. In fact, the
shift actually goes much deeper. Amun Ra is the god of the Black Sun
and Aten was the God of Helios.
The Black Sun stands in opposition to Helios. The Black Sun is the
body of Lifeforce and is devoured (hidden) by the light of Helios. To
see the rays of Amun Ra meant that one could see Lifeforce and those
who could see it fully, could best see it in the dark. Therefore, the Elite
Priest of Amun could literally "see in the dark".
As you might imagine, once I put these simple facts together, it
suddenly dawned on me why Darkness is so strongly emphasized in the
Temple Literature whenever the subject of Communion is mentioned.
However, an interesting book helped to shed further light on the
subject, Visible Darkness.
To be honest, I have only been able to read this book in bits and pieces
because the writers are so lost in the Truth of the Lie that the few pearls
contained in the book are over shadowed by the authors' endless New
Age diatribe. Still, I find the discussion on the subject of brain
chemistry to be interesting. They make it very clear that simply sitting
in total darkness with eyes open has wonderful effects on one's over all
health and well being.
Another thing I find interesting about the book, is that one of the coauthors of "Darkness Visible" wrote another good book on the subject
of Old European Bee Shamanism. There is an interesting historical link
between Bee Shamanism, King Solomon, Alchemy, Freemasonry and
the Family. The details of which are best left to another time, but it is
safe to say that the Bee symbolism found throughout European
heraldry, was simply a metaphor for the refinement of Lifeforce
through Communion.

social world as we realize that we are not our actions - what we do,
have done or will do.
C2 is located at the genital organs and is involved with creation versus
the illusion of possession. Sex is the biological means to create new
life. When sex is combined with the false idea called ownership or
possession, then jealousy and competition cuts the individual off from
the enjoyment of life. The sex drive in human beings is perhaps
stronger than that of any other living animal.
Anthropologist Desmond Morris called man the sexiest animal of all
because our species is the only mammal on earth where the female
remains available for conception continuously from adult maturation
until menopause. There is also evidence to indicate that perhaps only in
human beings do we find a female orgasm. Consequently, sex is a
powerful part of the human drive to seek pleasure .
However, when the mind creates the illusion of "possession" or
"ownership", not recognizing it as a corrupted mental description of
utility or simple experience, then jealousy and conflict result. C2
becoming activated causes the mind to see the truth that ownership is
an illusion, a mental fiction lacking reality. The need to control others
drops away with C2 getting plugged in. We realize that not only are we
not what we "own" or "possess", but that the idea itself is an error, a
misunderstanding, an illusion lacking reality.
C3 is located close to the center of gravity for the human body, usually
just below the naval at the center of the pelvic girdle. Here is the center
of the emotions. Eastern occult traditions commonly spoke of C3 as the
"hara" or "center", and was viewed as a critical link to gaining
emotional calm and control. Even today we commonly speak of our
"gut feelings" when we describe what is most emotionally true for us.
When C3 is fully activated we recognize that emotions are experiences
and not who we are . We separate our identity from these feelings and
gain the capacity for control as a consequence. We realize we are not
what we feel emotionally and thereby enter a peculiar calm state borne
of this certainty.
C4 is located at the heart, often just slightly to the right of the mid line
of the physical body. Just as the heart is the living center of the physical
machine we call the body, C4 when activated causes us to realize that
we are not the body, that the body is a tool, a machine. Until just the
last few years, a person was considered dead when the heart stopped.
The heart has a long tradition of being considered the core of the body
as reflected in numerous religious and mystical representations (the
"Sacred Heart" of Jesus, for example), as well as in our everyday
language ("His heart wasn't in it", for example). The occult traditions

Recently, one of the greatest violinists in the world JoshuaBell took his
$3 million Stradivarius to a metro stop in Washington DC and played
music for the commuters during the busy rush hour. It was part of a
challenge by The Washington Post to see how many people would
notice him.
This master violinist, who many often pay up to $200 to watch in
concert, earned a paltry $35.00 that day. Very few actually noticed him
and much less knew who was. Of those who knew, most were quick to
deny what they were seeing. They would stop, take a good look and
keep on walking, certain that they could not be seeing what they
thought they were seeing.
As I read this story, the thought occurred to me that this is precisely
what occurs in relationship to validating the Undead. All to often, we
can't see what is right in front of us, and if we do notice, we are equally
quick to discount it.
Truth is hidden in plain sight. Why? Because nobody expects it to be
there.
Once, an Outer Temple Member told me how he wished the Undead
would simply sit down and talk with him over a cup of coffee. I asked
how would he know if such a thing occurred. To which he replied that
he hoped the person would just tell him.
"And you would believe it if he told you?"
With that, a smile came over his face at the absurdity of his thinking.
He realized that he had failed to suspend disbelief well enough to allow
the experience he was seeking to occur. For all he knew, it might have
occurred already.
This is a common error. For how can one prove anything to someone
who is not open to the possibility to begin with? It is not enough to
only suspend belief, one must suspend disbelief as well.
Frankly, the existence of the Undead is not predicated on belief. Should
I repeat that? Yes, I should.

The crusades brought the two very different cultures into contact with
each other. It was the knightly class that was most involved with the
crusades and bringing their exposure to Saracen culture back to Europe.
Chivalry is a concept that has been associated with the tales of knights,
their adventures and their quests of which the crusades were considered
the greatest. Associated with this class was the code of conduct and
behavior called Chivalry. It is usually associated with ideals of knightly
virtues, honor and courtly love .
Here are some language connections for you. I will give you the French
and its English translation.
cheval = horse
chevalier = knight, literally the man of the horse
chevalerie = the code of the knight or, chivalry
The medieval knightly class developed out of the feudal system, and
was the lowest level of nobility in most systems. The social gap
between the knightly class and the highest levels of the merchants and
landed gentry was substantial. The knights were specifically those who
supported the lord in his obligation to protect and serve. To that end
these men were adept in the arts of war, trained in fighting, on
horseback or on foot, in armor, with lances, swords and shields.
Knights were taught to excel in the arms, to show courage, to be gallant
and courteous. Peacetime activities included the tournament and the
hunt. Knights and nobles were expected to adhere to a higher standard
of behavior that included various codes of honor.
The pervasive influence of religion in these peoples lives affected their
views of the world and their part in it. This may be difficult to
understand in our world today. As the crusades progressed, the higher
standards of conduct for nobility began to be codified. In part, there
was a heightened status given to crusaders because of the religious
significance of their Quest to liberate the Holy Land. This created a
second rank of nobility in attitude, if not in fact. Individuals
participating in crusade achieved an almost exalted status. There was a
perceived difference between civilian knights dedicated to military
concerns and those knights associated with religious matters. Knights
could in fact be also priests, which blurred the distinctions between
nobility, military and clergy and increased the elevation of all three
groups. This exaltation did have a trickle down effect, along with the
exposure to the heightened civility of the Saracen culture.

The Christian knight had virtues of fidelity, piety, and service to God.
From these virtues came the chivalric orders . These orders were
divided into groups. This is a simple overview to give you an idea of
what the scope was regarding involvement in the crusades and the
prestige attached to the orders of Chivalry.
The first Chivalric orders were primarily military and were founded in
the holy land, which was called Outremer or overseas. Some of these
orders were as follows.

Confessions of a Vampire.
Solomon
Test Everything, Believe Nothing.
These words are carved above the Temple doors. As an initiate, we
walk cautiously to the door. We gaze into the great beyond of
unknowing, cold and naked before the majesty of it all. Our mind
scrambles to make sense of things we read in the Vampire Bible. We
set up for Communion in a fumbling manner, memorizing every word
of the ritual, going over and over the ritual tools assembled, uncertain
of what exactly will happen.
Some attempt Communion, some do not. Hubris begins to take over in
many, and they turn and walk away. Some sit in waiting for a handout,
but when none if given they become angry and storm away. Still, some
Called and were answered. What is this feeling coming over me? We
exit in awe, not knowing what to make of it. The mind begins to reel in
ways its not accustomed to, trying to figure out what we experienced.
We stagger out into the world of colored lights and attempt to feed. We
stare hard at someone and tell them they will be our meal. When they
look at us we become flustered and break contact. We become
frustrated at ourselves for not being able to do this. Eventually we draw
Lifeforce into our being. Did it work, is this it, how will I know if I
did this right? We spill away the Lifeforce we gathered attempting to
answer if we gathered Lifeforce in the first place!
To some it comes easily, to others it is much more difficult. It is
realized that we must indeed Test.
Upon entering into the First Circle, we are greeted by the Master
Adept, and soon find ourselves in the company of the Priesthood of Ur
as well as other initiates and predators. We attempt Communion a
second time, third time, fourth, fifth and begin to search for answers to
our questions. Coincidences begin occurring in our waking hours and
our ritual time becomes a little moretangible. What was that noise,
whos there, holy hell, I could have sworn someone was standing
there.
We may look to life extension in an aloof kind of way, or in a very
serious manner. We begin to questions ourselves, these coincidences;
we learn techniques through the Temple Teachings and apply them to
ourselves to better seal our outpouring of Lifeforce. We begin to learn
of our Will and its power. We shape the world around us in small ways
129
to better suit our needs and have become more comfortable with
gathering food.
We return often to the Temple gates, enter thereunto, through the first
door and come upon the second door. Above it is etched Predator and
the requirements of entry. Having satisfied ourselves of the existence of
Lifeforce and tested the Temples Teachings, we submit for evaluation.
Some are given entry, some are not. For those who are, the Master
Adept congratulates and welcomes us to the Second Circle. Again we
have a task to perform, validations to make, and an Oath to swear and
keep. From here we continue Communion and begin to see changes in
our lives. More coincidences are happening, to the point that it could
not be coincidence at all! We look back at the path weve taken so far,
now confident in our ability to feed and commune. We walk the path of
Man head held higher, our body erect before the world and our Will
forming the road before us. Immortality is now a very real thing, and
we take steps to secure it for ourselves be it diet and exercise, health
alternatives, and/or looking into the immortality everyone is talking
about.
We validate for ourselves the benefits which have been bestowed upon
us, the positive effects of Vampirism, and most importantly, the fact
that Those Who Have Risen do in fact exist. Not as a figment of an
imagination, but as tangible sentient beings.
Sound familiar?
It is from here I took my Oath. I remember falling to one knee, weeping
like some grandmother at the magnificence of it all. It was beautiful. I
had found something lost inside which was now found again. I was
home.
It is also from here I end my description of the journey. We all have
Our secrets.
Our roads come rugged and littered with obstacles. I place it up to you
to tread your own path, and write your own journey. May it be one of
revelation, achievement, and results.
So to my Brethren and Sisters, I Will You all the best.

Mission Possible
Cryss
When we consider the Temple Mission we often envision the usual list
of actions in our minds eye. Maintaining the Temple URL as a
signature is a common, yet powerful way to do your part in assisting
the Temple Mission. Maintaining a link to the Temple Informational
Pack is also another common and extremely effective way to assist.
There are also the Temple cards.
However the Mission does not stop at merely creating a trail of bread
crumbs in the forest.
From the Dayside, every single tool we see through the Temple
Lifeforce boards and locked forums aid us in assisting in the Temple
Mission. It is our duty to implement them.
When someone with Potential sees us commanding people and our
situations, we aid the Temple Mission. When someone with Potential
sees us suddenly loose weight or notices we are getting healthier and
making wiser choices, we aid the Temple Mission. When someone with
Potential sees us begin to build wealth whether due to investment
prowess or simply in using mind control to leverage our worth to an
employer who in turn gives us new opportunities to excel, with
increases in salary commensurate of our new positions, we aid in the
Temple Mission.
From the Nightside, situations and creature comforts we create and
command into being for ourselves also assist in the Temple Mission, as
it gives us even more leverage to accomplish those goals and situations
we so desire. And as such, the Nightside gives us even more tools to
Assist.
In many ways we can consider ourselves as Ambassadors, except that
Who and what we are representing is secret. And our representation is
as such that we epitomize the quality of what we are representing
through our actions rather than the perceived nature of what the Temple
represents in the eyes of prey. This is yet one of many reasons why We
carry the clout and leverage that we do wherever we go. It is as such
that the wake of intrigue is often quite noticeable and powerful, causing
those with Potential to notice us, and in turn an opportunity will arise
for us to point the way using sanctioned methods.
131
Unless one is public with their affiliation, Our success and command
will likely never be associated with the Temple. Sometimes such things
are even more potent and fertile if left that way as we are indeed a
Secret Society whose emphasis is on quality and quantifiability.
Personally, I find in the fact that only a very few know of my
association, the level and quality of those taking notice are much
higher. The quality and nature of inquiry is more genuine, and those
with Potential have a clearer representation for which to catapult their
assessment of what is offered to them.
Aside from posting URLs and Temple references, and in handing out
Temple cards, it is by our very actions and how we Lead and Act that
we offer a direct, potent effect upon the Temple Mission and its
efficacy through our actions. As such, our effective representation must
be utilized in accord with the normal avenues. And as one tests, proves
and then utilizes the Teachings to benefit themselves, one becomes a
living exemplar of the Temple and will be known for the qualities we
embody and, as such, humans will bow down before Us without even
knowing why. Those with Potential will also know why.
Consider why this is so.
Consider why it is that We embody these things.
Consider why it is that we tend to get Our way.
Consider why it is that We are able to approach and meet challenges
with success, poise and prowess.
It because it is within Our Nature. We are elite. And it is through our
consistent exemplar and mannerisms that those with Potential will be
curious as to the Nature of our archetype and will want it for
themselves so badly that they can taste it. And thus opens a door for
those with Potential for which we can further point the way using the
authorized gateway. And by acting in accordance with your Potential,
we also aid in the Temple Mission because The Temple Mission is to
locate and offer membership to those with the Potential to benefit as
Temple Members."
It is time to Rise to the Call!
132
Perhaps you have taken note of a few key phrases often repeated here
in the Temple. One being "We are watching" and the other, the
requirement "Test Everything. Believe Nothing".
At first glance they may seem slightly contradictory, the first seemingly
requiring belief and the other demanding experiential verification.
This is not so.
If you take the steps to order your own copy of The Vampire Bible
you will have the key to solve this conundrum within the very first
chapter: The Calling of the Undead Gods.
Upon reading it most feel a sense of exhilaration, eager anticipation,
nervousness and yes, even fear.
Listen to that inner voice.
It will drive you to a decision one way or the other.
If you have Vampiric Potential then nothing will stop you from
engaging in the steps required for Ritual Communion with Us. During
which you may feel nervous and a touch of fear in anticipation at Our
Contact, but the worthy do not identify with these feelings and work
through them.
The desire to know eclipses such temporary emotions only to yield a
much greater feeling: joy. The sense of joy that accompanies a
successful Communion experience.
I know because I experienced these sensations and moved through
them to verify the amazing results.
If you feel the need to procrastinate or an ever-deepening sense of
dread and fear then perhaps such measures are not for you.
The rabbit can oftentimes sense the presence of the wolf.
Your hesitations may be justified and are well worth heeding if you are
not deadly serious in your pursuits.
This is not a game, nor are We here for those who entertain themselves
with silly posturing.
If you are unable to motivate yourself into action then you will never
reap the results of Vampiric Metamorphosis.
133
Action is required.
The choice, obviously, is your own to make.
If your intentions are true and you feel the need to see if you have what
it takes to become a Living Vampire and beyond, then you must make
the Call and Test this for yourself until you are satisfied.
This is the first important action required of you- the circuit must be
complete. Until then you do not know.
If you are a Potential then We will answer.
We are Watching.
